Unrecoverable Error

Topic 195326
(moderation:
Just got an old computer which has windows 98 and is running BOINC v. 5.2.7. I attached to Einstein and I started receiving Unrecoverable Errors on every workunit I downloaded. Im not sure exactly what this means or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Christopher & Welcome to

Hi Christopher & Welcome to Einstein @ Home
The problem is not with the Operating system, Windows 98 should be fine.
It's the PC that is "too old" for this type of workunits:
The ABP2 app demands a CPU that supports the "SSE" instruction set, and your CPU seems to be a very early Celeon model that does not feature SSE.
While it could still execute the GC1 search (that app is avalable in a flavor that doesn't require SSE), you would find that it takes really long to finish one of those tasks.
Happy crunching

If you want to let that
)
If you want to let that computer work for Einstein@home anyway, there's a way to tell the server to download only the GC1 tasks Bikeman mentioned:
edit your Einstein@Home preferences (the edit link is at the bottom of that page) and uncheck "Arecibo Binary Pulsar Search (STSP)" in the "Run only the selected applications" section. After the next server contact, your host(s) won't download ABPS tasks any longer.
You can put that computer and preference setting to a non-default venue (home, work or school), so that your other computers aren't affected.

The GCS5 search is the most

The GCS5 search is the most memory hungry of all my 6 BOINC projects. It takes 258 MB RAM on my Linux box.It seems you don't have enough memory for it.
